Why Use the Akana API Developer Portal?

The Akana API developer portal is a key component of the Akana API platform. It’s more than a portal — it’s a portal, marketplace, catalog, and directory all in one.

It provides the easiest way to accelerate digital transformation in the enterprise. Why? Because with Akana, you’re not just coding an API. You’re building an high-quality consumable API product that enriches the code with security and compliance.

In fact, Akana:

  • Accelerates API delivery: Developers and consumers can create, review, or access API products quickly in the portal.
  • Enhances security: Akana ensures authenticated and authorized access, as well as applies security policies automatically.
  • Partners with you: Akana can help you customize a portal/marketplace that scales to meet your business needs.

With Akana, you can support all of your API stakeholders with an all-in-one platform. Each stakeholder gets the interface and functionality they need. And your API products will always be in sync — no matter what. This helps you accelerate time-to-market and gain efficiency.

Benefits of the Akana API Developer Portal & Marketplace

Reduce Time-to-Market

Automation is key to reducing your time-to-market. And Akana makes it easy.

That’s because the Akana portal is fully integrated with everything else in the API platform, including the Akana API gateway. This means Akana supports APIs deployed across multiple gateways. And it provides a centralized catalog of all APIs available — even APIs that aren’t deployed on Akana.

You can then use these APIs as building blocks to create specific API products, helping you to reduce time-to-market.

API Catalog

Unlock New Revenue Channels

The Akana API developer portal and marketplace makes it easy to drive API adoptions and unlock new business channels.

That’s because with Akana, you can:

  • Find the API you’re looking for.
  • Verify: Is this really the API you’re looking for?
  • Access: Manage access to live endpoints.
  • Monitor behavior through metrics, charts, and dashboards.
  • Collaborate: Allow for feedback, questions, and notifications.
